Three deaths in three years. His mother. His best friend. And now, his two-year-old daughter. In this moving story a Christian author goes to a retreat center to grieve and face the hard questions about God that he is asking in the wake of these losses.
If you have ever felt alone, betrayed, abandoned--if you have found yourself asking God why--this novel may be a source of hope. And if you have ever wondered what heaven is like, this book provides a beautiful vision. Room of Marvels is a masterful, dream-like tale that speaks to the eternal in the midst of our most painful earthly losses.
This expanded edition of the beloved book has a new afterword from James Bryan Smith and a discussion guide for group use.
Finding your room of marvels will give you reason to live. Again.
